Capitals Fall Short in Chase of MICT's 223
The Capitals had a chance to qualify if they had chased down MICT's 223. Despite a quick start and a fifty from Will Smeed, they couldn't keep up with the required run rate due to regular wickets falling just past the halfway mark.

The openers, Rassie van der Dussen and Ryan Rickelton, set the stage with a 15-run first over, followed by a relentless assault on Migael Pretorious, who conceded 69 runs in his four overs.
Brief Scores:
- MICT: 222/3 (Reeza Hendricks 77*, Dewald Brevis 73*)
- Pretoria Capitals: 195/8 (Will Smeed 52; Rashid Khan 2-25)
MICT won by 27 runs.
